The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

"In fact, I don't think black magic is particularly easy to use as a whole." Erwin said again.

"Oh?" Dumbledore encouraged him to continue.

"Black magic, which is widely considered unacceptable, is basically able to cause huge killing and destruction effects, but the consequences of killing and destruction are difficult to recover, and generally only with the absolute will to destroy the enemy during wartime , or only when fighting for life and death. Therefore, the controllability and versatility of this type of magic are quite poor."

"You should be clear that the vast majority of black magic needs to be clearly malicious when used, and it will inevitably have a major impact on xinxing over time." Dumbledore said. "So I think the use of black magic must be cautious. For wizards, rational and calm thinking is the most precious thing. But even so, I don't think black magic can be said to be absolutely evil."

"Tell me." Dumbledore nodded slightly.

"I think the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic will never use the Stunning Curse and the Petrification Curse to fight Avada Kedavra, at least not when they were fighting Voldemort back then, just like Muggles don't use sticks to fight Hot weapons. When black magic is used against evil, isn't it righteous in itself?"

"You mean, there is no right or wrong in magic itself, the key lies in the wizard who uses it?" Dumbledore said slowly.

"Exactly." Erwin nodded.

"So, Erwin, let's talk about your problem. Can you tell me why you practice magic?" Dumbledore said calmly.

"To explore the truest nature of this world."

"It's a very ambitious goal, so it's better to talk about it in more detail."

"What is the root of magic power? Where did magic power exist before the original dragon? Where is the limit of magic? Since runes can be composed of codes, is the entire universe made up of runes? The essence of each of us is Is it all just a bunch of code?"

Dumbledore's expression turned serious.

"These are the questions I want to figure out, and to achieve this goal, I must have sufficient strength."

"You really don't have to worry about your bloodline now, and you can avoid a lot of detours, but it is indeed not easy to give full play to your potential." Dumbledore nodded slightly, "At this age, you clearly know that you want to What to do, this incident is a good thing."

Erwin hesitated, "Besides this most fundamental goal, I actually have other ideas. I think the current situation in the British magic world should improve."

"What do you think is unreasonable?"

"A contradiction, the contradiction between the new system and the old system. Hogwarts is a representative, recruiting Muggle students for free, and training them into qualified wizards for free, but on the other hand, the mainstream of the entire magical society is still traditional. A wizarding family. There is bound to be conflict between the two."

"So you're going to change?"

"I just have this idea for the time being. I think Muggle-born wizards should enjoy more rights, and the entire wizarding world should also create a new environment, so that all wizards can use their talents as much as possible to promote a deeper understanding of magic. After all, this is the foundation of our wizards. You have also seen that even if Muggles don’t use magic these years, their living standards are improving rapidly. If wizards are still stagnant, it is not impossible to be surpassed .”

"So, do you think these magical families are hindering the development of the entire magical world?" Dumbledore still asked in a questioning tone, and did not express his attitude.

"It can be said that they occupy too many resources, but they can't contribute much."

"Then you plan to build a new order. This process will not be smooth sailing, and you will encounter great resistance... Your future plan is to go into politics?"

Erwin shook his head slightly, "After all, this is my secondary purpose, so I prefer to pass this belief on."

The meaning is to find a person at the front desk, just like the idea of ​​making Hermione the president of the Muggle Student Association a few days ago.

"I see. One last question, what do you think of the secrecy laws now enforced by the Ministry of Magic? What is the correct relationship between wizards and Muggles?"

This is a fundamental problem.It is related to the current situation of the entire magic world.

Erwin understood that when he talked to Dumbledore about the present, he was actually talking about several basic contradictions in the wizarding world.

The contradiction between black magic and white magic, the contradiction between pure blood and impure blood.

And now to talk about the most fundamental conflict between wizards and Muggles.

"The secrecy law has great limitations, but for now, there is no better choice than this one. This is a decision made after a long period of exploration by all, and there is a reason for it." Erwin explain.

"Really? But many people think that wizards who master magic should be above Muggles who don't know magic, and Muggles must surrender to wizards."

"It's obviously a very immature, taken-for-granted way of thinking."

"However, there are many outstanding wizards who hold such beliefs and even put them into action." Dumbledore said slowly: "Could it be that there is a problem with their way of thinking?"

Erwin understood what he meant. These anti-Muggle super wizards generally have a common title-Dark Lord.

"The genius of these wizards is manifested in magic. They should not even bother to understand the history of Muggles, but unfortunately, the history of Muggles is actually the history of mankind, and wizards are also a part of mankind. If you let go of your prejudices and understand a little bit, you will understand what a truly stable rule looks like.

Wizards rule Muggles, how?Wipe out all Muggles?That is obviously not possible. Domination is the behavior of one class over another class, such as former slave owners and slaves, nobles and commoners, landlords and farmers.There are natural contradictions between the two classes of rulers and ruled, and human history has proved that there is an upward channel between classes to maintain stability.

Because in this way the upward intention of the group can be differentiated into individuals.

Slaves can become freemen because of great meritorious service or rewards from their masters, civilians also have a small possibility of being knighted, and farmers also have the opportunity to obtain land and become landlords, but for now, can a Muggle master magic?

is not possible.

Therefore, in the eyes of Muggles, wizards with magic are heterogeneous, and they will be repelled by nature, because they cannot become wizards.But on the other hand, wizards who are regarded as aliens are human beings just like Muggles. They are only stronger than Muggles in terms of magical talent, and there is no advantage in intelligence, will and determination.

Compared with Muggles, wizards are actually in a weak position if they are not counted at your level. Most wizards are also civilians in essence, but they are civilians who can use magic. Their combat power is very limited. Defeat a well-trained strong Muggle armed with cold weapons, not to mention that Muggles have now developed more powerful hot weapons.

As for the remaining wizards with fighting capacity, most of them, if they are hit by Muggle weapons, death is the only ending.What's more, the number of Muggles is thousands of times that of wizards. "

Erwin looked at Dumbledore, "There are only a handful of wizards who are qualified to treat all Muggles as worthless, at least the level of magic should be only one or two levels lower than yours. The rule of Muggles will eventually lead to fierce conflicts and even wars. Wizards with superb magic skills can protect themselves, but most wizards will die. Although it should cause several times the number of Muggle casualties, there is What does it mean? The decline in the wizard population means that the inheritance of magical blood has been hit hard.

It's impossible for a top wizard like you to protect everyone, right? "

Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "No matter how powerful a wizard is, he is not an omniscient god."

"So if wizards win the war against Muggles, the only feasible way is to cause massacres, reduce the number of Muggles by 90.00%, and even when the population is not as large as wizards, they will no longer be able to attack wizards. Threats arise, but this leads to the demise of human beings themselves, and even the destruction of this world.

But if this is not the case, it must be the failure of the wizard in the end. Even if there is a superpower who can deter all Muggles, no wizard can be eternal. When the superpower is not around, the rebellion and counterattack will be The continuous generation, the final result will still be that the wizard will suffer great damage, and will have to return to the original status of the secrecy law.

I think when the Dark Lords express their ambition to rule Muggles, they may not have thought about how far they want to go, or they know it, but they don't care.

All in all, at least for now, the Statute of Secrecy is the only way to keep the peace between Muggles and wizards. "

Crack, clap, clap, Dumbledore began to applaud slowly, and the eyes of this kind old man were full of approval, "You really exceeded my expectations, child, as I said to Master Flamel before, you really The great gifts are not in magic...I never thought I could learn from a student at my age."

Hearing the headmaster's praise, Erwin felt a little embarrassed with his face.

"There are many places where my thinking is still not comprehensive enough, and I haven't seen it thoroughly enough."

"But at least you have understood the essential contradiction between wizards and Muggles." Dumbledore had an inexplicable look on his face, as if he was missing someone.

This look flashed by, and disappeared in an instant, "The secrecy law is not a perfect solution after all. Nearly half of the functions of the Ministry of Magic are spent on this aspect. Perhaps it is really time to consider a new method?" Dumbledore Lido paused, and looked at Erwin meaningfully, "Looking at your appearance, you must have some ideas, right?"

Erwin nodded, "It's just some unrealistic ideas. I think since they are all human beings, there is no need to distinguish too much between Muggles and wizards. Compared with killing, there is a better way to reduce the number of Muggles... That's turning them into wizards too."

Dumbledore's eyes suddenly burst into light, "Yes, these words are empty words that cannot be realized by anyone, but you are the only one who is really possible."

Yes, this is an unprecedented original wizard.

"If all human beings in this world have the ability to use magic, what will this world look like?" With Dumbledore's mentality used to seeing big winds and waves, he was a little excited.

He immediately smiled freely, "I lost my temper, but I really hope to see that day."

"This is just a vain idea, and I don't even have an idea of ​​how to start with it." Erwin smiled wryly.

Now he has only deployed the Red Dragon Type I, which can barely be regarded as strengthening the magic blood, and certainly cannot turn ordinary people into wizards directly.

"Only when you have a dream can you have the motivation to move forward." Dumbledore smiled, "I originally wanted to give you some guidance in the name of a teacher, but now I realize that I think too highly of myself. Since you have such a pattern and There is no need for a life mentor at all.

I just hope you can strengthen your will and go all the way. "

"I will." Erwin immediately became serious.

Dumbledore pushed the diary on the table to him, "It's up to you to decide what to do with this diary."

"Huh?" Erwin really didn't expect it.

"I have now determined that you have this ability and that you are determined enough not to be affected by the soul in it. Take this as your test."

Erwin thought for a while, and was relieved. Voldemort must have more Horcruxes. There is really no need to rush to destroy the diary, not to mention that the diary is the simplest Horcrux, and there is no other soul except for storing part of Riddle's soul. any extra features.

"Dealing with this memory inside should also allow you to learn more about Tom Riddle. You can also destroy it immediately, or use it as a picture for him... It's up to you to decide."

He wasn't worried at all that Erwin would use this to study Horcruxes, because this little guy didn't have to worry about longevity in essence.

Erwin nodded, and took back the diary. Riddle in it should have been completely unaware that he had just escaped a catastrophe.

"Oh, that's right." Dumbledore suddenly remembered something, "Since you're here, I'll tell you about your arrangements for the next school year."

Erwin nodded, all ears.

"Based on your current level, the courses in the lower grades should not be difficult. Professor Snape has always wanted me to complain that you don't go to class."

Erwin nodded.

"So I guess you don't have to be at Hogwarts next year."

Erwin was stunned, this was something he didn't expect, "You want me to go directly to the internship?" He asked cautiously. "Internship? Of course not." Dumbledore smiled. "I plan to arrange for you to go to Ilvermorny as an exchange student for a year."
